A foot the size of sweden

I do not have much superstition, or believe much in higher powers, but it seemed strange that just after Sara and I had a long talk about lethal and dangerous insects in Italy I was bitten by one. The discussion did end with up in a deciding that we had different definitions of dangerous, agreeing that there was none of them close and finished our breakfast. Either way I was bitten by some insect, the bite had the size of a moschito bite the first day, a bit bigger and red the next, yesterday the size of Sweden. So when I finally gave up my masculine stupidity and asked Sara if she could make an appointment with the doctor, I almost couldn't walk any longer (it is on my ankle)
In all fairness, I should mention, that the theory of my doctor, was that I was probably not bitten by one of those dangerous insects, just dumb enough to scratch a harmless insect bite, and let it get infected.

Now I am home in bed (well untill just got up to share my pain with you :-)), and eating antibiotic pills, and in recovery. Going back to bed now, my foot is hurting again. Luckily I have my brother in pain close to me - Teo, our dog, is close and his back leg is hurting too... Different members of my family has suggested that he is just a hypochondriac, and hurting because I am, yet others have suggested that I am the hypochondriac, and Teo is the only one in real pain.

fun fact: if you google "dangerous insects italy" the third in the list is the "history of italy as a monarchy", wonder how that fits together :)

Air condition

Ahh.... air condition.

My environmental problems with air condition has evaporated, they are momentary given up. I always thought it was kind a short sited, to use to much air condition, its a bit like peeing in you pants to keep warm, it will work for only a short while, and then it will be even harder to handle the temperature. But as most people (I suspect) who pee in their pants to get warm, you just get to at point where you are so desperate that you will turn that air condition on ( or pee your pants). No matter how hard it will be to get out into the heat afterwards and no matter how hot it will be for our grand children.

As I am writing this, one of my colleagues is putting on a blouse... cause now the wonderful air condition has lowered the room temperature two degrees to 28.
